LFS uses both mainline and stable kernels, depending on whichever is
newer. I don't think I'd be comfortable putting an LFS release out with a
mainline (non-stable) kernel, but they're reliable enough for development,
and the 1st stable kernel is normally only a couple of weeks away.
So, I'd recommend you use 3.7 after testing it on one of your machines
first.

That's a fairly obvious spam. I would not recommend clicking on the
Google Docs link in that message, and especially not from a Windows
machine!
